Me and my Aussie friend shot the blunderbuss with help from the Hawaii Historic Arms Assoc.  Something I always wanted to do and it was very cool.  Though I wouldn't want to get one because it's too much work to load :D.

   3 years ago, saw food truck almost full. ;)
Last year, half full. :(
This year could still see the inside  back of truck. :'(
 
   Darn shame the local news channels did not cover or promote prior this event  (again) .
Wonder what they have against feeding the hungry ?  :wacko:

This was my first time at this event, and I thought it looked a bit empty compared to the HRA shooting sports fair when I went on Sunday morning.  Someone told me it picked up later in the afternoon.

The problem was marketing.  I heard off hand when the event was going to be, but I couldn't find any flyers (even on the DLNR website) on it until a week before.  They should've had the flyers posted everywhere a month or two before the event.

It's the politics of a state-run agency. :(
